It´s a nice plant anyway, a picture under white lights would be interesting to see just how red it naturally gets.

Hey Jen, i will get a pic of it in the sunlight if it gets sunny out today its been soooooooo cloudy and gloomy for so long now it hasnt had much sun in the window i had it in and i just seperated some larger pups from it 2 1/2 weeks ago and then i took it down to the plant room last week and put it under the lights. As you can see in that pic shes already got more pups growing..

P.S I have some saguaros (supposedly) that I sow last autumn. Now they are about 5 mm high (if they are indeed saguaros for it was cacti mix that i bought)

Thank you Peterthecactusguy. When people think of cactus, this is what they envision.

sorry I would have had my pic up a few nights ago, but I have been having issues with my PC. Fixed now.

Yes, a deserving win! An uncommon (impressive) specimen of a common plant!
